I find it so different that it offends me when somebody assaults my eyes with SD!We rarely bother with HD, the picture doesn't look much different to the standard picture, maybe we have a point.
A few months short of 50 and I've finally succumbed to the need for reading glasses. I've adjusted pretty well, and they seem to be doing the trick nicely.
However, I've noticed that my distance vision seems to have suffered slightly, particularly in low light or hazy conditions. I'm going to book an eye test get it checked out, but I was wondering, is it possible to need classes for close work (reading) but also need them for distance work as well? I'm fairly new to the world of binos so this is all strange to me.
Could it be night myopia? Does anyone suffer with this and cann describe what it is like?
Also, by the time you are 65 around 75% of the population will be suffering from posterior vitreous detachment.
I started to need reading glasses at around the age of 50.
My first pair was a very expensive pair of bifocals, they did not suit me because I was still taking them off for long distance reading, could not get used to the looking up thing.
Have been using cheapo ones from various outlets ever since - I'm 55 now.
Regular check ups are fine, but I know that I can't see well in dim lights, those energy saving street lamps cause me to cycle slower than my usual slow!
Same indoors at home: since switching to low energy bulbs, I can't, for example, check my tyres for debris after dark, even with glasses on.
I don't drive, so all good there.
One should go every two years.Gonna talk to Mrs D, get myself an eye test.

I am typing this on my phone and it would be a bit like me trying to do it without my reading glasses on. Hang on ... [removes specs]... Yes, just like that - blurry/fuzzy.
Being a cinic I'm not convinced that it's any more than a marketing ploy, a way of parting us with our cash. We've got an old Toshiba Regza, a forty inch, we get a very good standard picture with it, nothing fuzzy or blury.
Erm, it's actually a microwave. That live autopsy programme you watched was a chicken tikka cooking.
